Wondering if the choice of a 16" screen was mainly for thermal reasons (bigger screen -> bigger chasis overall).

FWIW 6-core over 15" (2019 model) is working nicely for me, but I suspect 8-core might be a bit too much for 15".

Experience reports welcome.

The chassis is barely larger (someone did a calculation in another thread). They basically made the bezel smaller (thank goodness).

The chassis is actually smaller than the beloved 2013 MacBook Pro. It's only regressed slightly from the 2017 and 2018 models.

I'm starting to believe that 2010 to 2013 were peak Apple, at least from a consumer product perspective.
